Ignacio Ramirez was also charged with leaving the scene of a fatal accident, as well as being issued several traffic citations.

At about 12:50 a.m., police said Ramirez struck a 30-year-old bicyclist near the intersection of 18th and Carpenter streets before fleeing the scene.

The bicyclist, identified by authorities as Fredrick Kobrick, of the 1700 block of South Desplaines Street, was rushed to Stroger Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.

An autopsy performed later in the day confirmed the bicyclist's death was caused by mulitple injuries in the collision and was ruled an accident, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.

Ramirez, of the 500 block of West Walton Street, was taken into custody a short distance from the crash site. Police didn't provide his blood-alcohol level.
